Vapor chamber (VC) has been proven the excellent heat spreading performance utilized particularly in high-power light-emitting diode (LED). As high-power LEDs array are utilized for more general lighting systems, more significant amount of heat flux being generated while it is operating. The main challenge is that the lifetime of high-brightness LEDs is easily shortened by thermal problem generated at the device junction and ambient temperature. The printed circuit board (PCB) composite made up variables of dielectric, copper and solder layer thicknesses affected the thermal performance of high-power LEDs lighting system. Therefore, combination VC and PCB (VCPCB) can perfectly serve the high-power LEDs package system. This study reports the manufacturing characteristics and utilizes experimental analysis with window program VCTM V1.0 to investigate the thermal performance of VCPCB applying in a high-brightness LED array package module. Results show that the effective thermal conductivity of the VCPCB is many times higher than that of the AlN, copper and aluminum PCB, proving that it can effectively reduce the temperature of the LEDs and obtain more uniform illuminance. And the thermal performance of the LEDs VCPCB is better than that of the LEDs Copper PCB and has the highest effective thermal conductivity of 965 W/m°C at 187.5 W/cm2. The LEDs VCPCB works out hot-spot problem of 100 Watt high-power LEDs, successfully.

In the IC packaging process, epoxy molding compound (EMC) was filling the mold cavity and cured in the mold. At the same time, adhesion may occur in the interface between the surface of mold and cured EMC. Large adhesion force could cause many problems, which may influence the ejection process. Some other critical problems may also happen in the IC molding process if adhesion problem occurs, such as distortion or crack on ejecting finished parts, residue of cured EMC on the surface of mold affecting the quality of the products, and regular, tedious and not effective mold cleaning. So how to improve the mold adhesion force effectively is an important issue for industry and research institutes. To avoid the mold adhesion problems, improving the mold design and applying suitable surface treatments such as mold surface coating are the common approaches. Among these, applying suitable surface coating is a more popular and practical approach. This study described the approach of using a semi-automatic EMC adhesion force test instrument to measure adhesion force between the mold surface and EMC and studied the corner effect during the encapsulation process. Three different cavity arcs were designed in three specimens and molded and tested during molding to observe the corner effects. Engineers could determine the best type of surface treatment and the type of corner to reduce the amount of mold adhesion force. This paper also discussed the issue of successive adhesion force test and the variation of adhesion force during successive molding test to predict the time for mold cleaning. It was found that larger corner would cause smaller adhesion force. Repeat experiments were executed and found that the test results could be repeated.

A simulation-based prediction of the effective moduli of a silicon interposer with Cu-filled through-silicon via (TSV) is developed to resolve the critical issue of finite element (FE) modeling. The simulation-based prediction in the current study follows the analysis of mechanical reliability urgently considered in large-scale three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) packaging. According to the common testing concepts of mechanical properties, finite element analysis (FEA) is systematically performed to obtain the equivalent mechanical properties when different volume fractions of Cu-filled TSV are induced. The proposed simulation methodology is validated and then compared with an analytical model. Results show that the Cu-rich mechanical properties become observable when the TSV pitch is smaller than 25 μm.

More high-pin count package and thinner thickness of ball-grid-array (BGA) substrate are appreciated in the recent commercial electronic products. Using thin profile fine-pitch BGA (TFBGA) substrate incorporated into the assembly line is a feasible solution. To expose the possibility with this substrate, two species of lead-free solder balls with and without nickel were applied and the oxygen concentration impacting the solder quality in reflow process was considered. The flux assistance for solderability was adopted to verify the integration capability in assembly mass production. The temperature effect attacking the solder adhesion due to the thermal stress and the difference of thermal expansion coefficients for entire package products was also taken into concern. Using the shear test and drop test could clarify the solder adherence between solder ball and TFBGA carrier substrate. Finally, the Cpk values for all of test groups were greater than 1.33, which demonstrated the TFBGA substrate was suitable to be employed in the high-pin count and high-profit electronic products.

In coming applications a further increase of diversity and higher complexity of electronic systems is expected. As a consequence it will be an increasingly challenging and time consuming task to design these systems. Although various new components are coming up, the problem of increasing cost for system design, debugging and verification is generally not addressed by conventional technology developments. A new concept to face these challenges will be presented. It is based on the constitution of a system by miniaturised modules, each representing a complete functionality like system control, data storage or sensing. The modules are planar System-in-Packages with embedded active and passive components, having typically 4 contacts on bottom and top. Besides the hardware an integral part of each module is its firmware, a small piece of software which controls a basic functionality, e. g. sensor data filtering and the communication with other modules. The realisation of a Smart Pixel SiP with I²C bus interface and embedded components as well as the design of a modular sensor system will be described. The data communication between modules is also realised by an I²C bus. By combining these modules in different ways, various systems can be realised. The capabilities and challenges of such systems will be discussed.

In ball-grid-array (BGA) package technology, the oxygen concentration in flow process predominantly influences the quality of solder conjunction such as oxidation causing aged effect and quality of inter-metallic compound. In addition, the flux as solder assistance is also a key factor determining the solder adhesion ability between carrier HBGA substrate and solder ball. Using the temperature cycling test, shear test and drop test to distinguish the adhesion ability for lead-free solder balls on HBGA substrate assisted with several fluxes, the optimal process recipe was achieved. The soldering performance was impressive.

Infrared light source is a key component in the optical sensing systems especially for the Fourier-Transformed Infrared (FTIR) or different kinds of gas sensor system. This paper proposes a novel method for generating a broadband wavelength infrared light source by MEMS heater based on silicon on insulator (SOI) technology. The enhanced long-tern stability has been achieved by a low electrical resistance SOI wafer. This novel MEMS heater can achieve over than 1000 °C. This MEMS heater could be integrated in micro sensing system such as metal oxide semiconductor and Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensors.

The aim of this project is to develop an alternative material for bumps of LCD driver ICs and to establish a feasible packaging process for the alternative material. With the continuously escalating price of gold, an alternative material to replace the widely used gold bumps in LCD driver IC packaging is eagerly demanded. Therefore, copper bumps are selected for evaluation in this study. To comply with the oxidation-prone and higher hardness characteristics of Cu bumps, nonconductive paste (NCP) resin and ultrasonic bonding are introduced as well in the packaging process. Compared with the commonly used thermo compression bonding technology for Au-bumped LCD driver IC packaging, the ultrasonic bonding method with NCP resin employs relatively lower temperature and bonding force. In the feasibility evaluation of the Cu bumps, the objective is to achieve a bonding reliability and adhesion quality similar to or even better than that of Au bumps under thermo compression bonding. In the experiment, fine tuning of some operative parameters was executed in order to get the positive results. These operative factors include the following: (a) NCP resin viscosity, (b) NCP resin dispense pattern, (c) dispense temperatures, (d) bonding sequence, (e) bonding temperature, (f) ultrasonic power, (g) bonding force, and (h) bonding time, which play key roles in the study.

For evaluating the feasibility of adhesive bonding by NCF (non-conductive film) in micro bump joints, three types of micro joints were adopted in this study. The structure of the type I micro joints was Cu/Ni/Au while that of the type II micro joints was Cu/Ni/Au micro bump joined with Cu/Sn solder micro bump. Both the type I and type II micro joint were bonded by using NCF. The structure of the type III micro joints were the same, but the type III micro joints were produced by eutectic bonding. For the type III micro joints, the micro gap between chips was wrapped by a capillary underfill. The bonding results revealed that the contact resistance of the NCF joints was in the range of 100 Qm ∼ 400 Qm which was higher than that of eutectic joints. Electrical continuity of micro bump interconnection was monitored by measuring the contact resistance of four-point Kelvin structure and daisy chain during reliability test. Thermal cycling test and thermal humidity storage test were conducted to evaluate the reliability performance of these three types of micro interconnections. The reliability test displayed that the reliability performance of eutectic joints was better than that of the NCF joints. The study showed that NCF joints have great potential to be applied in low temperature bonding of fine pitch 3D IC stacking.

Thermal solution and thermal management are critical issues in either 2.5D or 3D stacking design, especially when the hotspots are not located next to the heat sink. On the other hand, chip and package designers are eager to know the realtime temperature performance of the stacked chips therefore the workload can be assigned to the proper domain. Hence, a thermal test chip for evaluating the package is proposed in this paper. The thermal sensor network based on a ring oscillator is implemented in this work. Infrared radiation microscopic is employed for inspecting the real-time temperature performance of the chip and package. Four types of package are implemented and experimented by inspection of infrared radiation thermography. The experimental results show that one of proposed design provides good temperature consistency within difference of 0.6°C with the thermal sensors. Meanwhile, the proposed package has excellent capability for evaluating thermal management of the stacked dies by providing good thermal non-uniformity by 0.035 °C/mm.

Meanwhile, the proposed package has excellent capability for evaluating thermal management of the stacked dies by providing good thermal non-uniformity by 0.035 °C/mm.","PeriodicalId":6360,"journal":{"name":"2011 6th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology Conference (IMPACT)","volume":"42 1","pages":"238-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91039421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
